Earth is a very beautiful planet it has fantastic views, plants,trees,flowers and animals live on this planet with us. Us humans we create problems like pollution or climate change, that makes the earth less beautiful. We can solve this problem by showing kaitakitanga, being the guardians of the earth. You might ask how do you show kaitakitanga? What is kaitakitanga? You can show kaitakitanga by picking up rubbish or planting trees or plants.

You can help stop climate change by adding solar panels to your house or you can insulate your walls, use electric cars, use sustainable transport (scooter,skateboard,bicycle) or protect your local river like the Puhinui stream. There is a lot of ways to show kaitakitanga, and there is a lot of pollution and climate change destroying the earth, help the earth and show kaitakitanga.
